It is generally acknowledged that emotions play important roles in second/foreign language learning. Nevertheless, though interpreting is highly stressful, not much research on emotions has been conducted is this area. Hence, this research investigat...

In this article, grounded in the concept of interpretative knowledge (IK), which is well known in the literature, we introduce and discuss the construct of semiotic interpretative knowledge (SIK). This theoretical tool unfolds the interpretation of c...

This essay reflects on Walter Brueggemann’s influence as a theologian and ethicist, with reference to the recent book The Widening of God’s Mercy: Sexuality Within the Biblical Story. It traces Brueggemann’s thinking about his own b...

It is generally accepted that the Copenhagen interpretation is inapplicable to quantum cosmology, by contrast with the many worlds interpretation. I shall demonstrate that the two basic principles of the Copenhagen interpretation, the principle of wh...

Recent neuroimaging research has suggested that interpreters and non-interpreters elicit different brain activation patterns during simultaneous language translation. However, whether these two groups have different functional connectivity during suc...

A brief (subjective) description of the state of the art of the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics (MWI) is presented. It is argued that the MWI is the only interpretation which removes action at a distance and randomness from quantum th...

Language support is necessary for effective healthcare as language obstacles have a negative impact on patient outcomes. Medical facilities dealing with novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) were forced to restrict the number of healthcare professiona...

This study focuses on the interpretability of diabetic retinopathy classification models. Seven widely used interpretability methods—Gradient, SmoothGrad, Integrated Gradients, SHAP, DeepLIFT, Grad-CAM++, and ScoreCAM—are applied to asses...

Metaphor is ubiquitous in daily communication and makes language expression more vivid. Identifying metaphorical words, known as metaphor detection, is crucial for capturing the real meaning of a sentence. As an important step of metaphorical underst...

Background/Objectives: Medical interpreters support communication between medical professionals and foreign patients. However, the communication skills required of medical interpreters in the field are currently unclear. The purpose of this study was...

Recently, some effort went into explaining intransparent and black-box models, such as deep neural networks or random forests. So-called model-agnostic methods typically approximate the prediction of the intransparent black-box model with an interpre...

I show how the quantum paradoxes occurring when we adopt a standard realist framework (or a framework in which the collapse implies a physical change of the state of the system) vanish if we abandon the idea that a measurement is related (directly or...

Technology plays a double-edged role in the interpreting job market. The development of technology may threaten the jobs of interpreters, as well as provide aids for them. The sustainable development of interpreters depends on determining the balance...

We present a critique of the many-world interpretation of quantum mechanics, based on different “pictures” that describe the time evolution of an isolated quantum system. Without an externally imposed frame to restrict these possible pict...

The primary goal of my paper is to elaborate a methodology for literary interpretation that points out how a literary narrative prose text interprets its own characters, plots, and existential problems. In this context, one of the main premises of my...

Transparency in AI models is essential for promoting human–AI collaboration and ensuring regulatory compliance. However, interpreting these models is a complex process influenced by various methods and datasets. This study presents a comprehens...

As anonymity-enabling technologies such as VPNs and proxies become increasingly exploited for malicious purposes, detecting traffic associated with such services emerges as a critical first step in anticipating potential cyber threats. This study ana...

The concept of entropy is mildly consensual on two apparently paradoxical points: it is a fundamental concept of science, and nobody knows what it really is. Historically, it reveals two great ambitions: to account for the impossibility of perpetual...

In 1639, the treatise Prodromi catoptricorum et dioptricorum sive Conicorum operis ad abdita radii reflexi et refracti mysteria praevij et facem praeferentis. Libri quatuor priores by Claude Mydorge was printed in Paris. This volume, which followed t...

Information that is complicated and ambiguous entails high cognitive load. Trying to understand such information can involve a lot of cognitive effort. An alternative to expending a lot of cognitive effort is to engage in motivated cognition, which c...

During many years since the birth of quantum mechanics, instrumentalist interpretations prevailed: the meaning of the theory was expressed in terms of measurements results. However, in the last decades, several attempts to interpret it from a realist...
